At inRelationship, one of our favorite books is Anatomy of the Soul. In this book, Dr Curt Thompson integrates new findings in neuroscience and attachment with Christian spirituality. So obviously, we had to invite him to talk with us.

And our conversation turned into four episodes! 

We hope you enjoy the first episode as Curt shares about faith, neuroscience and the power of repair.

Did you know that trauma affects the brain? It does!  Special guest Alice Stricklin, LMFT helps us know how trauma is stored in the brain and how the brain wants to heal itself and the trauma with it.  Alice specializes in the therapy called EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and shares how it work together with trauma and the brain.  And truly we have all experienced trauma in some way, whether it is something that happened to us or something that we did not get in a relationship that we needed.   We hope this is healing and hopeful for you to listen to!

There are so many forms of trauma, and especially in this time with Covid-19, it is important to know what trauma is and how it can affect your relationships and you.  We invited special guest, Alice Stricklin, LMFT to help educate us not only on trauma, but how to know if you are avoiding trauma, what trauma symptoms can look like in us and how trauma is not only defined in what happened to us, but also what did not happen that should have.  This interview is so fascinating, and we hope you enjoy!  Plus, a special bonus that Alice gives us some practical things to do to help process trauma.

02.13 When the One You Love Wants to Leave with Special Guest Dr. Don Harvey

Okay friends, this topic is sad. Yet at the same time, it is a reality in some relationships. There are some relationships where one wants to leave. Don Harvey, Ph.D., LPC-MHSP, sat down with us to talk about his research and experience on what to do (and what he recommends his couples to do) when a relationship gets to this point.

We pray this conversation is helpful to those who are in this situation and brings clarity and hope.

As a new year approaches, we wanted everyone to start the New Year with a healthy relationship with money.  A therapists, we know that it is hard to work on matters of the heart when our basic needs (food, lodging, shelter) have not been met. And how do we meet those basic needs? With our finances.

We are beyond thankful to have Rachel Cruze with us on this episode as her knowledge and wisdom about personal finances is vast. A best-selling author, speaker and TV show host on finances, Rachel is an expert and so helpful with practical ideas that we all can implement.  Hope you enjoy!

At inRelationship, we love both fact and feeling. It is particularly exciting when research backs up emotion!  Tune in as Kenny Sanderfer, co-author of Created for Connection, shares research with us on what a connected marriage looks like.   We hope you enjoy!

Join Mariam and Lindsey as they interview Kenny Sanderfer, licensed therapist, emotionally focused therapy trainer, co-author of Created for Connection (along with Dr. Sue Johnson), and just an all-around awesome guy.  Kenny breaks down not only the three tenants of being connected in marriage, and also how God models these three tenants in His relationship with us.

We hope you enjoy! And if you have any questions on parenting, please connect with us at inrelationship.us.
